ZENONIA 1 stats let you customize your character through stat points on level-up and gear choices that reshape your build. The official Steam page confirms stat and equipment customization plus multi-tier items, but does not publish the exact current-build formula. This page explains what the official copy guarantees, where legacy growth notes still help, and how Warrior, Paladin, and Assassin builds diverge as you allocate points.

What the official ZENONIA 1 stats and growth page confirms

The current Steam build is published by Com2us Holdings, with co-developer CFK Co., Ltd., and launched on 2026-08-31. The Steam store page for AppID 4538960 is the authoritative source for the feature list. Anything not on that page is treated as unconfirmed for the Steam build as of 2026-09-06. The store page explicitly confirms stat and equipment customization as a current-build feature. In play, this surfaces as stat points you spend on level-up and as gear slots you fill from loot drops and vendor stock. The customization is class-aware: the three confirmed classes (Warrior, Paladin, Assassin) share the same stat screen, but the way each class converts stats into damage, defense, or utility is not published in numerical form. The same store page confirms multi-tier items in the current build. Multi-tier items mean that a single slot can hold a low, mid, or high tier version of the same gear family, and the tier shifts the stat budget rather than the slot itself. This matters for growth because swapping tiers is the cheapest way to test a build without respec costs. The official page does not publish a numerical growth formula, a per-stat weight, a level cap, or a respec cost. Anything that quotes a specific number for the current Steam build should be treated as unconfirmed unless the developer adds it to a future patch note.

Legacy reference notes

The 2009 Gamevil mobile original and the Nintendo DSiWare version document growth formulas that fans still reference. The block below records those formulas as legacy context only. They are not current Steam build facts. The legacy stat screen exposed Strength, Agility, Vitality, Intelligence, and Luck on a single page. Legacy notes describe Warriors weighting Strength and Vitality, Paladins weighting Strength and Intelligence, and Assassins weighting Agility and Luck. The current Steam build exposes a stat screen, but the visible labels and per-class weight tables have not been officially published. Legacy formulas tie stat gains to level milestones and class tier. The current Steam build keeps a level-up system and a class system, but the exact formula has not been officially published. If a guide quotes a formula and does not cite a Steam news post or a Hotfix announcement, treat it as legacy material.

Leveling and stat point gains

Leveling is the main way to gain stat points. The current Steam build confirms a level-up system through the stat and equipment customization copy, and the Hotfix v1.0.1 post-launch patch did not change the leveling rules in any announcement visible on the Steam Community channel. On the current build, every level opens the stat screen and lets you place points into the stats your class favors. The placement is free-form, which means you can front-load points into one stat or spread them across several. The trade-off matters most at mid-game, when gear starts to compete with raw stat points. The current Steam build does not publish a respec cost, so you cannot lose points permanently by spending them early. If you want to experiment, spend aggressively on the first three or four levels, then respec once a piece of gear sets a clearer direction. Multi-tier items mean that gear can outpace your level briefly. If a fresh high-tier weapon lands in your inventory, your damage curve jumps ahead of your stat points. The reverse is also true: a long stretch without gear drops means your stat points carry more of the load.

Build archetypes for the three confirmed classes

The Steam store page confirms three classes. The build archetypes below lean on the legacy stat weights as orientation, with current-build confirmation limited to the fact that each class has a distinct stat screen and a distinct gear pool. Warriors benefit from points that increase melee damage and survivability. Front-load the points that boost raw damage output and the points that raise health or armor, then fill the remaining points into utility stats as you find gear. Paladins convert points into a mix of melee damage, spell power, and survivability. Spread points across the damage stats and the resource stat that powers your skills, then add points to health or armor once the first dungeon is clear. Assassins convert points into speed, burst damage, and critical effects. Front-load the speed and critical stats, then add a small block of survivability points once the first mid-game boss is in reach.

Stat screens you will actually use

The current Steam build exposes a small set of stat screens. The list below names each screen and explains what it controls. The primary stat screen opens on level-up and lists the stats your class can raise. Spend points here first, because every other screen reads from these values. If you are not sure which stat to raise, look at the tooltip on your equipped weapon, because the weapon's preferred stat is usually the stat the class is built around. The equipment screen lists your gear slots and the stat budget each slot contributes. Multi-tier items show their tier next to the slot, which makes it easy to spot a free upgrade. Swap gear before you re-spend stat points so the new budget lines up with your plan. The inventory screen lists everything you are carrying and feeds the weight meter. The morality screen tracks your alignment. The current Steam build exposes the morality meter, but the per-class starting value and the per-chapter impact are not officially published as of 2026-09-06.

Common stat mistakes on the current build

If you spend every point on damage stats before the first dungeon, you may end up too squishy for the first boss. Hold one or two points in reserve until you know what the first boss rewards. Multi-tier items mean that low-tier gear becomes a stat drag by mid-game. Sell or store low-tier gear as soon as a higher tier drops, because the stat budget difference is large enough to shift a build. Morality is not a stat, but it is a soft growth lever. Some dialogue paths only open if your morality meter is on the correct side of the midpoint. Check the meter at every hub. Respecs only help if the gear pool supports the new direction. Before you respec, open the equipment screen and confirm that the gear you have or can buy in the current hub actually matches the new stat plan.

FAQ

How many stat points do I get per level in ZENONIA 1?

The exact number of stat points per level is not officially published for the current Steam build as of 2026-09-06. Legacy notes describe a fixed grant per level, but the current Steam build has not confirmed the same grant.

Can I respec my stats in ZENONIA 1?

A respec option is visible on the current Steam build through the stat screen, but the respec cost and any cooldown have not been officially published as of 2026-09-06.

What stats should a Warrior put points into?

Legacy notes weight Warriors toward Strength and Vitality. The current Steam build has not published a per-class formula, so use the legacy weights as a starting point and adjust once the first dungeon gear drops.

What stats should a Paladin put points into?

Legacy notes weight Paladins toward Strength and Intelligence for a hybrid style. Spread points across damage, resource, and survivability rather than dumping into one stat.

What stats should an Assassin put points into?

Legacy notes weight Assassins toward Agility and Luck for speed and critical effects. Front-load those stats and add survivability later.
